You hear right apparently GM released a El Camino wannabe called the…. well, thats up for debate at the moment. Apparently GM has everything but the name figured out. The new car/truck will be a rear wheel drive sedan modeled after the Australian “Utes” (Utility Vehicles).
One thing we do know is that the car/truck will not even be a chevy the vehicle will be released as a Pontiac under there G8 line. the car/truck combo will feature a 6 liter LS3 V8 from the G8 GT sedan, which will be pushing 361 horsepower and 385 lbs feet of torque.
Currently the only thing this nifty truck needs is a name, GM will be launching a website for the public to help decide on a name for the El Camino replacement. I’ll be sure to post the link as soon as I track it down, feel free to toss it in the comments if you discover it before I do.
